Today we landed in Israel!! Our group had a lovely 12 hour flight with El Al and got SOME sleep. When we got our bags and cleaned up. We met our tour guide, Maor, and had our first taste of real Israeli Aroma. 

Our first stop of our tour was a hike of The Sataf. It was beautiful! To see the life around us in all types of citrus trees and just general greenery was amazing. We went through a tight, dark tunnel into an amazing wide open cave spring inside the mountain. I loved the point where we turned off all of our flashlights and just told there all there together in the dark listening to the sounds of the water running down the spring. After we went to an incredible dinner in Jaffa, we had our evening ma'agal where we got to talk about all that we had done in the past 24 hours. Eventually, we made it to the hotel where everyone got a good nights rest, excited for the day ahead.
